the suspense is over (and it didn't kill me)

So, after two plus months of planning, Joanna's surprise birthday party happened today. However, since Joanna found out about it through a subject line that read "re: let the planning begin" in my email inbox 2 months ago, it wasn't much of a surprise. (I guess the real surprise would have been us actually surprising Joanna!) It was such a fun time, though, with friends and family (both sides) all in the same place & Joanna enjoyed her 30th birthday! All the kids running around and babies crying and sleeping were just amazing. Anyway, there are some pictures on my flickr page (you can get there by clicking on the link at the right/top of this blog), so enjoy.
